Leasing Equipment as a Seasonal Business

The goal of every seasonal business owner is to ensure that as many varialbes as possible are eliminated. One of the best places to begin with is your funding source.

We know one jeweler, who only has two profitable months a year. But you should see those two months. The challenges faced by business owners with seasonal demand are unique. How do you keep track of costs relative to revenue, when one is consistent and the other is erratic? The answer may be in how you structure your next lease.

Many companies are eligible for flexible payment schedules, that are arranged in accordance with product demand. Now most companies will not have a fiscal year (hopefully) like our friend the jeweler; however, corporations will have stronger sales periods based on holidays or the corporate calendar. Leasing equipment can help your business manage cash flow, regardless of the season.

For a lease for all seasons, consider Graphic Savings Group.

Don't call it a comeback for venture leasing

Venture leasing might be the latest buzzword in social circles; but at it's heart is a reinvestment of venture capital. As the venture capital market goes, so goes venture leasing. Startup businesses seeking startup leases should be excited by all the buzz created recently over the IPO of Google.

Venture capital markets are cyclical, just like the rest of the market. In this case, many of the venture capital firms that have invested in businesses prior to the 2000 tech bubble burst are faced with the decision of either finding new investments or returning capital to investors... and losing the possibility for earning fund management fees. It's no suprise then, that venture capital firms are looking for new companies and avenues to invest funds in. Venture leasing offers just such an avenue.

The genesis for this blog idea came from David Mayer, an attorney with Patton Boggs LLP, who publishes an exemplary monthly business e-newsletter on leasing issues in the legal arena. For a more in-depth look at the return of the venture capital market, check out the March issue.

If you're considering startup or venture leasing, consider Graphic Savings Group.
Municipal leases : Winning the RFP

Municipal Leasing is a unique area of equipment leasing. Often when a municipality is looking for a copier, they will ask that a copier lease or financing plan be bundled with the equipment. In the bid, the winning equipment provider will often be asked to include the equipment leasing as well. This makes for a sticky situation, as a number of equipment resellers are not ready to handle the financial side of a deal.

Independent equipment brokers offer copier leasing packages that are designed to complement an equipment reseller or provide alternatives to a manufacturer's lease. If you're looking to win municipal leasing deals or are involved in a municipal lease, please consider talking to Graphic Savings Group.
